Whirlpool 1129316 Ice Maker Kit

The ice maker in our 20+ year old Whirlpool side by side refrigerator (ED20PKXAW01) had been having issues for a few months.The ice cubes (crescents) were sticking together in the bucket and forming a huge clump of ice. I'd tried reducing the ice cube size via the wheel on the side - to no avail.Occasionally there would be flakes of paint at the corners of some of the ice cubes.After some internet research I'd managed to temporarily resolve the ice agglomeration issue by placing a cup in the ice bucket to catch dripping water from the ice molds at the far end of the ice maker. However, in order to maintain the supply of ice I found that I needed to remove and replace the cup a couple of times a day.My research indicated that the paint flakes were coming from the non-stick coating on the molds.I knew I needed to replace the maker itself due to the paint issue, I wasn't sure of the root cause of the water dripping: was it the ice-maker or the solenoid valve in the supply line?After reading some of the Amazon reviews I decided to go with the Whirlpool complete kit rather than some of the off brands due to poor reviews relating to flaking of non stick paint on brand new units.I got free shipping and the box arrived 2 days after ordering on a Saturday (I don't have Prime)I removed the old maker: 3 screws and a 4 pin wiring harness and installed the new unit. So far it is working fine: no leaks and no paint contamination. At this point I haven't replaced the solenoid valve but it's there if I need it.Upon examination of the old unit I discovered that the non-stick paint was flaking off the molds at the webs between the ice cubes revealing a very porous aluminium cast surface. After 20 years of cooling and heating cycles, I'm not surprised that the paint was beginning to flake off.After reading the installation instructions that came with the new kit I discovered that there is a leveling screw that I was unaware of - the ice maker was installed in the fridge when I bought it. I suspect that after 20+ years of use the ice-maker had been pushed out of alignment which was causing the leaks at the far end of the unit. If I'd known about the leveling screw I may have been able to resolve one issue.Replacing the entire unit fixed both issues and left me with a spare solenoid valve - just in case.Hopefully this maker will last as long as the original.I probably should replace the filter now - I can't remember when I last did that. . ..

Kit has everything you need to install or replace an ice maker on prior years models. 2021 and 22 units use a unit that look the same but is different and will not work.

Ordered the complete "kit" because i wasn't sure if the icemaker was identical to the one that was in my 14 year old whirlpool frig. It was the same unit including wiring so all i had to do was loosen the two top mounting screws and remove the bottom "leveling" screw, unplug the wiring connector and replace it with the new unit. t started to fill within 30 minutes. I now have a new fill valve for a spare if the 14 year old one fails & new ice drawer all for $10 more than the "bare" unit....

The ice maker works well and was not too difficult to install although you should check your connections as you might need a wiring harness adapter. Some other kits come with multiple connector types, my installation required an adapter and I had to order it separately with additional waiting time. The instructions are pretty clear and the kit had everything needed to complete a standard installation. Ice output is great and the ice cubes ar a good size

Bought a home with an 10 year old Whirlpool Refrigerator that did not have an ice maker, purchase this on Amazon and description said "fits most all Whirlpool up top freezers" so I took my chance and it works perfectly. Took my son in law a little over an hour to install, as this was a complete install and not just a replacement. Everything went according to the instructions and it works perfect. We all had our little celebration with the first cubes that came out of the dispenser. So glad I took the chance and made the purchase. This was as described, brand new and in original manufacture's box. Shipping was quick and arrived ahead of promised delivery date.

This was an awesome solution to replace our ice maker that gave out after 8 years! We have a Kenmore refrigerator and after some online research I discovered that it uses a Whirlpool icemaker. Matched up some part numbers and viola, found this God-send! This icemaker was easy to install and comes with extra parts to help solve a variety of issues of why your ice maker isn't working. Luckily, mine was a real easy fix since it only involved the actual icemaker unit and not the pumps or anything external. I simply uninstalled the old one and installed this one. Followed some safety instructions and it was like plug-and-play! I just used the old wire harness and didn't even have to replace any wiring! Good stuff!Here's a tip... Although this comes with some pretty good instructions, go on youtube and look up some videos on how to replace your icemaker. It really helped me out and saved me some $$$ in having a repair man come out! Good luck!

Perfect Match! Contained everything I needed to replace a worn out ice maker. Product arrived on time as promised and in good condition. Seller is recommended. It comes with everything so you might as well replace the solenoid and other wear items while you have the refrigerator opened up. If you have any smarts at all this will be a snap to put in. TIP...Don't throw away any screws or fasteners until you're done. I dropped a couple of the small screws and would have spent considerable time looking for them had I not saved the old ones. Price is WAY cheaper than have someone out to replace a failed ice maker. Do for it!

This was a very complete kit, many of the parts were not needed for my fridge but included to cover many different installation scenarios. It was easy to install myself, even with the upside down pages in the installation guide. I keep my freezer very cold and usually pretty full, when I 1st got it running it took about 1 1/2 hrs per tray of ice, now that the tray is mostly full it's about 45 minutes. I hooked it to my RO system and the ice is perfect!

I was skeptical about the quality and compatibility with my Cosley Fridge from 1993 that I use as a basement / rec room fridge. It is the only fridge that had an ice maker and I have grown reliant on it. After years of fuddling and fiddling around with the original that eventually stopped working altogether I purchased this one. Quality is excellent for the money. Yes the wiring harness was different but it was a simple switch to use the old one with the new machine; extremely simple and perfect fit into the power module of the new ice maker. Produced ice in 90 minutes and buckets since. Love it!

I replaced a 20 year old ice maker (unavailable) in my Kitchenaid fridge. I made a couple of slight changes to it and it fit and works fine.

I dont recommend this unit to anyone.. 1st you can return it was never used just opened to find out the cords not compatible with most fridges made in Canada, than it freezes up we used it for one week and now it's not making ice stay far away very far away.

The product was as claimed but did not fit the fridge, I used the model numbers in the fridge and googled a compatible ice maker and it was incompatible

still working fine after 3 months
